“…The chromatography system corresponds to a nanoACQUITY-UPLC system (Waters), has a Pre column Symmetry C18, 100 Å (5 lm • 20 mm), reverse-phase chromatographic column nanoACQUITY UPLC Peptide BEH C18, 130 Å (150 mm • 75 lm, particle size 1.7 lm) coupled with a nanoESI ionization for protein identification. The run of each sample was carried out under the following linear gradient in two phases of circumvention, one hy-drophilic (Water, A) with 0.1% formic acid and another hydrophobic (Acetonitrile, B) with 0.1% formic acid in a gradient elution analysis programmed as follows: 0 min, 3% (B); 0-1 min, 3% (B); 5-37 min, 9-80% (B); 37-38 min, 80-5% (B), 38 In silico analysis, peptide ranking, and bioactivity prediction The sequences of sorghum storage proteins identified by nanoLC-MS/MS were subjected to in silico analysis using the BIOPEP-UWM database to identify potential bioactive peptides and also the hydrolysis of these sequences in silico to produce using thermolysin (EC 3.4.24.27), subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.62), and chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) enzymes. The PeptideRanker (http://distilldeep.ucd.ie/PeptideRanker, in January 2020) was used to rank the predicted sequences of peptides according to bioactivity, and the occurrence frequency (A) of bioactive fragments with a potential activity in the protein sequences was calculated by the equation: A = a/N, a was the number of amino acid residue (aa) forming fragments with given activity in protein sequence, and N is the number of total aa of the protein identified by MS. 18…”
